That's right, I wanted to like this game I really did but the more I play it the more it dawns on me just how pathetically retarded it is.

At first I was enjoying myself, the graphics where amazing and the puzzles seemed simple but okay. I'm starting to realise though why it got such low marks, it stupidly linear, the majority of puzzels are pathetically simliar and extremely simple. It's like Zelda for retards...not just your normal retard though these would have to be super, super retards. Sometimes i've got stuck because I find myself looking into the puzzle to much when actual fact I should be looking for a stupid symbol on the wall, absoloute ar$e.

I games where rated on graphics then this would be the best game of the year, unfortunatly they're not and I agree with Digitiser this deserves 2/10, not because it's THAT bad, it's bad but not THAT bad but because Rare should have done so much better, they've proved they can before so what in Gods name possessed them when they where making this steaming pile of toss I realy don't know.

Oh and this is coming from someone who loved DK64 and thinks Banjo Tooie is one of the best games ever.

I'll play the game to the end just because, but it'll be going back as soon as I finish it.

That wasn't even game footage, that was a technical video showing off the Gamecube at E3 about 3 years ago.

It's rubbish, but I'm not worried because its taking a trip to Gamestation on the 29th...

The combat system sucks - what little of a system there is to speak of -, not enough space levels, and the ones there are are over far too soon, the story is stupid - NOM majorly exagerated that aspect - and whilst it looks nice, it will go down as another disapointment for 2002 with FFX, Resident Evil and a fair few others from all formats.

Still it cost £32 and I should get at least £20 in trade in, though I'm guessing there will be a fair few others trading in this.
